It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Decorations are appearing in store windows and shoppers are beginning to crowd the city sidewalks.
These scenes were photographed through the bus window in downtown Chicago while driving down State Street.
Frango's have been iconic Chicago candies ever since Marshall Field's department store in began producing them on the 13th floor of the State Street store.
The chocolate mints have been a part of my holidays ever since I was a child.
This window celebrates the famous Marshal Fields clocks which are on two corners of the store building. "Meet me under the clock" became a convenient downtown meeting spot when it was firsr installed in 1897.
A Christmas shopping trip into the city is a tradition for many people.

A meeting spot about 130 years old which is still as young as ever. Every corner of the city is decorated to welcome Christmas. During such festivals, shopping is not just shopping but becomes a part of tradition and culture. 🥰

I imagined myself on the bus with you, enjoying the ride. Thanks!
Merry Christmas! I've heard stories through my life about those wonderful Christmas windows in some of the famous cities. I've never experienced any of those fancy ones myself. Of course the small city I was raised in had their version when there was a booming downtown (booming for small city that is.).....but it hasn't been like that in many years. We had the best Christmas stuff going on back in the day.
My tree is up and most of the ornaments are on it. I normally wait till the weekend after Thanksgiving, but I bought a new green artificial tree and it came Monday of last week. I "had" to take it out, set it up and make sure the pre-lit lights worked.... didn't I??? Of course I did, in case something was wrong, there would be time to send it back and start all over and.... well.... once it was up, there was no sense in taking it back down and storing the box for two weeks. (The world, according to me). I'm waiting for the rest of the decorating till the weekend after Thanksgiving, but it has been fun having the tree lit in the mornings and evenings.
I like it and there was no one here to stop me.
I love hearing about your Christmas decorating! Looking forward to seeing your new tree!
